Job Outlook Summary Percent Change in Employment, All Focus Occupations This graph shows yearly percent growth compared to 2008.

The table summarizes the regional job outlook for the focus occupations using employment projections and current wage data, indicating the demand for these kinds of workers and their pay scale. Colleges which strive to be labor market responsive, maximize their economic impact, and generate a return on investment for public funds should generally focus program resources to support high-growth, high-wage occupations.

1. Projected new and replacement jobs can indicate demand, but are not necessarily equivalent to demand. The number is based on past regional performance of the industries that employ workers in the given occupations, combined with official, biannual state and federal ten-year estimates. Projections may underestimate demand if employers need these kinds of workers but are unable to hire qualified individuals to meet their needs, or if unforeseen business recruitment and growth outpace past trends. Similarly, projections may overestimate demand if there are unforeseen contractions in key employers, entire industries, or the national economy as a whole.

Regional Graduation Summary

Regional graduations ("completions" or number of awards/degrees granted) in the programs tied to the focus occupations are one indicator of workforce supply. (Other sources include in-migration of new workers to the region, promotion from within firms, and currently unemployed workers in the same or similar occupations.) The following table breaks down these graduations by program and award level at AnyRegion college and at all institutions in the region. A zero entry for completers indicates the program is offered but had no completions, while a "-" indicates the program is not offered.

Detail Tables The following tables provide detailed information for focus occupations and related programs, comparing estimated average annual openings in each occupation with recent completions (awards/degrees) in related programs at both AnyRegion College and at all institutions in the region. Many postsecondary programs are linked to multiple occupations; this is shown in the final column of each table and is one indication that fewer program completers will likely enter the given occupation than the overall total would suggest.

About the Data

Introduction EMSI data is a compilation and harmonization of more than 80 government and private-sector sources. Updated every six months and based on the most recent data available, the dataset covers the entire US population and economy, down to each individual ZIP code. It includes data for industries, occupations, demographics, postsecondary institutions, and selected economic indicators.

Occupation Data Organizing regional employment information by occupation provides a workforce-oriented view of the regional economy. EMSI's occupation data are based on EMSI's industry data and regional "staffing patterns" (showing the average mix of job types in various industries) taken from the Occupational Employment Statistics program (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Wage information is augmented by data from the American Community Survey (U.S. Census). Replacement jobs and annual openings estimates are based on national survey data by occupation. As in the official government statistics, occupations are categorized by Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes and titles.

Completions Data Completions are voluntarily reported by postsecondary institutions through the U.S. Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Completions are organized by program using the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes and titles.

Relating Occupations to Postsecondary Programs The occupation-to-program (SOC-to-CIP) "crosswalk" is a large table that describes which occupations are generally trained for by each standard postsecondary program (based on Classification of Instructional Programs [CIP] codes and titles, last updated in 2000). EMSI starts with the official crosswalk published by the U.S. Department of Education and customizes it in various ways to make it more accurate and practical for comparing programs to regional labor markets.
